Lovelane's Mission Lovelane’s History When Debby Sabin began providing therapeutic riding at a barn on Love Lane in Weston, she was the only instructor and she saw five students a week. That was in 1988. After receiving her Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy, she continued to provide therapeutic riding sessions and the program on Love Lane began to grow. When the program moved to accommodate more students, the name stuck and in 1992 Lovelane was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization. Lovelane currently has 12 instructors and provides more than 4,000 individual therapeutic riding sessions a year to children and young adults from 25 MetroWest and greater Boston communities. In September 2004, we moved into our first fully owned and operated facility – our first permanent home and our first facility with an indoor riding arena! Lovelane offers personalized therapeutic horseback riding to children and young adults who have physical, mental, social, emotional, or learning disabled conditions. From its inception, Lovelane's program has provided traditional therapies in an alternative setting, using the horse to help deliver the therapy. Our program of therapeutic riding utilizes the horse and its movement to facilitate the child’s specific therapeutic goals. Lovelane also offers classes in Movement, Barnyard Fun, Vaulting and summer Horsemanship clinics.
Above all else, Lovelane is about abilities: the ability of a student to improve his or her quality of life; the ability of a student to increase self-esteem and confidence; the ability to participate in an outdoor activity that is fun. Each of our students enjoys a program that combines the best aspects of a world-class sport with important occupational, physical and speech therapy goals. Information Brochure - Click Here |
